学子走进农耕课堂

News Summary:
Recently, Yunnan Agricultural University held a science‑outreach event themed “Cloud Farming Sparks New Knowledge.” More than 500 teachers and students from several primary and secondary schools in Kunming came to the campus. In small groups they toured the museum’s exhibition halls, which are built on the agricultural cultures of the region’s ethnic minorities. Moving through seven themed areas—rice cultivation, fishing, hunting, and more—they learned about the history of Yunnan’s agriculture and the ecological techniques used in high‑altitude farming.

Interactive Experience:
During the hands‑on portion, volunteers guided the students in making rubbings of Naxi pictographic seasonal patterns, painting bookmarks, and receiving tiny farming‑tool models. By handling these replicas, the children could feel the shape and function of traditional implements, deepening their understanding of farming culture and practice.

Thoughts and Inspiration:
Activities like this connect textbook knowledge with real objects and local memory, helping kids see how farming and daily life are linked. For children who grow up in the city, seeing ancient tools and the wisdom of their ancestors encourages a respect and gratitude for nature and for the source of their food.

Learning can be a daily act of watchfulness and discipline; it requires curiosity, hard work, and cooperation. May such down‑to‑earth science outreach leave a lasting impression on the next generation—valuing both study and cultivation—so that the facts they learn become tools for caring for others and stewarding resources.

Scripture:
Matthew 6:26 – “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they are?”
